Bought mine new in 2021. Love it. Utilitarian to the max. I ride it more than any bike I've ever had, and I've been riding for over 45 years.

[@alzeal]

Same, been riding for 25 years, super sports, sport touring, dual sports, everything from 250cc to liter bikes. Sold everything when I had kids but recently picked up an ADV 160. Setting up and taking out the big bikes for me was a chore at 5'4". Love being able to fire it up and go. loving it.

[@allant5973]

Nice Scoot, I'm from the Philippines also owned one. I just want to share a simple tweak. 1st follow the PMS and Clean your CVT ( Here in the Philippines we called it "Pang-gilid) every 2,000 miles this avoid CVT dragging. Try to find and replace the ADV Stock 20 grams CVT Flyball with 17grams (cost around $ 8 ) / Pros - this adds torque, helps in uphill driving, to overtake another vehicle and great even with pillion rider / Cons - affects small in fuel efficiency) . Also, no brands of scooter or motorcycle durable ... It's how you use and take care of it. "NO TO BRAND WARS".🙂✌🏍... Peace, Enjoy and Ride Safe

[@smokeyboii]

This is my first motor/scooter. I love it.

[@stewartstanley4059]

Nice scoot! I love that red color…looks super sharp! I now know more than I ever thought I would about a Honda ADV150 lol

[@grominwithrob1339]

Watched Quasi's video yesterday and bought one today!! I have a Honda grom that I put a small fortune of money into but it just cant cruise at 60mph worth a crap. You have to strangle every bit of the Grom to go anywhere. I love how the modded out Grom rips but I really need something that can cruise so I added a ADV 150. After easily getting to and maintaining speed into a 26 degree 17mph headwind with no problems whatsoever, I am confident that I made the right choice. It rides like a small Goldwing!

[@ontheway4034]

I have a Monkey with a lot of mods and share your experience with having to use wide open throttle to maintain 55-60. Wind is really hard and the ride is quite bumpy at those speeds. Have you been happy with the ADV? Is it smoother riding and can you maintain speed even with headwinds? Does it get pushed around a lot in wind? I was thinking about going with something bigger like a Honda CB300 or CB500X, but maybe this would be all I need.

[@edzanner7418]

You ended on an absolutely correct word "fun". Enjoyed meeting you at the Tiddler event.

I just purchased my 2022 Honda ADV150 in August. I’ve had many scooters since 1985 and this being one of my best. With about 600 miles I will be changing oil soon. Last tank of gas I got 104.7 mpg. Enjoy and ride safely 👍

[@ExcelsiorDDZ]

It's very fun, but the highest I've seen is 88MPG so far, but I'm probably heavier. I just need to figure out that AUTO reset on trip odometer A. I changed oil at 497 and will again probably every 2k miles since its cheap and easy.

[@ronsteitz4535]

@@ExcelsiorDDZ I weigh in about 210 lbs. most driving is 35-45 mph most of time. I only use Premium fuel. I owned a 1987 Honda Helix 250 I bought new. It was nice but this New ADV has more agility and off road maneuverability. When I get on this new Honda I don’t want to stop riding. Some complain about speed but to me 60 mph is all I care to do. Enjoy and be safe

If take off that rear fairing could you put a 14 inch wheel? If so then couldn't you increase your top speed slightly since it shouldn't effect your top end torque to much

To funny, I was thinking of getting one of these cause of Quasimotard. The gas mpg is awesome. Would be great for me going to work. He should make commissions on sales of the bike he has. I am also thinking of the Rebel 1100. Got your self a good bike. Be safe.

[@ronsteitz4535]

How much did you save by buying a scooter with 12 miles? I bought mine in Aug 2021 and currently have a little over 1,000 miles Being in Iowa a little cold to ride currently. I have averaged over 90 mpg so far and once at 119 mpg. I weigh in at 220 lbs. and most of my rides are 35-50 mph. Finding the ride very comfortable with no need to upgrade or modify anything.and smooth never bottoming out the scooter.

[@ExcelsiorDDZ]

The lowest I could get OTD price anywhere was $5500 before finding this one. So between $1000 - $1300 in savings.

[@ronsteitz4535]

I pd. $4,299 MSRP for my scooter. My Dealership only received 3 of these scooters in 2021 so I walked in at the right time.👍

[@BrandonAhmaud]

@@ronsteitz4535 MSRP is $4299, but what did you pay OTD?

[@sarloscantana]

What kind of speeds are you getting?

[@ExcelsiorDDZ]

I can achieve 72mph after changing rollers, before it was 67. And now I can accelerate much faster to 50.

[@johnyracercat]

After break in, how many MPG are you getting?

[@ExcelsiorDDZ]

approaching 6,000 miles now and I would say the average is between 77-94 depending on if I'm around town or long distancing it at full throttle.

[@panduadikara9078]

in my county, 150cc is more than enough for daily commute or even touring. but as i come to understand, it is a small cc bike in western countries (even 350 cc is small, in my country 250 cc is considered to be a big bike). do you feel it to be lacking in power? can you go on big roads or even highways with it?

[@ExcelsiorDDZ]

I don't find it lacking at all, but you need to understand the limitations of the bike itself. No, I'm not travelling major interstates and generally am only on roads that are 55mph or less. So not really an issue for me because anyone behind me that wants to excessively speed can either wait or go around.

[@johnmcvey440]

My brother in law in Cebu has a Click, which I think is similar. Riding on the back of his sold me on those types of bikes

[@danielpearson6306]
